are we ready to play with the big boys.

No pressure for me tomorrow. We've exceeded expectations however we finish the season now.

However, we're playing great football, especially at home, we're in the best form compared with those we're fighting for a play-off place with, we've only lost once this year and we have Vicente.

I think the team is enjoying their football and the experience too much.

Interesting question though. Even the management can't agree. Poyet wonders how we'll handle the pressure, Taricco says there is no pressure.

Three points to the Albion for me tomorrow.

That is about where I am and we are so close to it you can nearly feel the play-ffs now

You say the fans aren't putting any pressure on the team, but all I hear is around 1/4 of the fans constantly abusing the team at every home match, no matter what the score. Id hate to see it get worse.

Oops. I think I read the whole thread wondering whether we could do this against premier league opposition. Apologies.

I think we'll do well tomorrow. My money is on a 2 - 0 win. We have a brilliant, diverse squad for this league. If you look at the stats, we need more away goals. That is all.

I agree, our home form has been decent this season and expect a win today particularly as a few of the Boro first choice are out. I would hope everyone gets "noisy" today and not just NS, part of WSU and a small minority of the WSL. You only have to watch a Swansea game to see what a big atmosphere can do for the team.

To answer the OT, yes we can do OK in the Prem provided the investment in half a dozen new players is made wisely.

maybe it is me but i think that tomorrows game is our biggest of the season so far.we have managed to get ourselves into this position without the fans putting pressure on the team.
i think tomorrows game will see if the fans & the team can cope with the pressure.
I think we as fans need to raise the roof at the amex from the start & really get behind the team.If we do our part then I'm sure the team will respond & do their part by getting 3 points

We still need a decent striker

We still need a decent striker

Do you have another record you can put on?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

No. We're good enough to be in the play offs at the end of the season but that's about it. Promotion would mean bringing in 8 or 9 mercenaries.

If we give opponents as many acres of space at a higher level as we did today we'll be bloody CRUCIFIED!
